TOSWRF-2

Test of Silent Word Reading Fluency–Second Edition

The new Test of Silent Word Reading Fluency, Second Edition (TOSWRF-2) provides a reliable and valid measure of students’ ability to recognize printed words accurately and efficiently. Its first edition has been popular with professionals in psychology, education, and reading and was used as an outcome measure in the congressionally-mandated evaluation of the federal government’s No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (PL 107-110, title 1, Part B, Subpart1) known as the Reading First Impact Study (Gamse, Jacob, Horst, Boulay, & Unlu, 2008).

A companion to the Test of Silent Contextual Reading Fluency, Second Edition (TOSCRF-2), the TOSWRF-2 measures a student's ability to recognize individual words accurately and efficiently.
